All my Pattaya bus rides these days are 20 baht, so I'd love to know where to find these buses that are only 10 baht.

Everywhere...........and most of us only pay 10 baht.

I have a motorbike. But whenever I'm ushering around a group of people in a non-chartered baht bus the fee is 10 baht. Keep 10-baht coins on you. Whenever your stop comes and you get out just hand the coin to the person in the cab and keep walking. No discussion needed.

My heart goes out for the injured people. I think the cost of the baht bus ride, 10, 20, or more baht has nothing to do with this tragic story.

The driver is 60 years old and he was with his father in law who is only six years older !! Hmmmm
